Benefits of asyncio

[Aseem Bansal]

I haven't worked with asynchronous tasks or concurrent programming so far. Used VB2010 and have used some jQuery in a recent project but nothing low level.

As per the explanation it seems that programming using asyncio would require identifying blocks of code which are not dependent on the IO. Wouldn't that get confusing?

When I said that there would be waiting time I meant as compared to sequential programming. I was not comparing to threads.

>From all the explanations what I got is that it is the way of doing event driven programming like threads are for concurrent programming. It would have been great if the library reference had mentioned the term event-driven programming. It would have been a great starting point to understand.
